QUOTE(theanswer @ Aug 23 2013, 11:51 AM) what to do? haters will always hate. frankly proton is a problematic car..but plus point they offer a good solid handling. i dont think most driver can differentiate handling characteristic. all they know is the brand..start and drive. as long they keep driving dugong they will never know what is solid handling i used to drive a dugong too until i move to a persona 2yrs from then i enjoy sapu corner at high speed where you cannot do that in a dugong

QUOTE(dares @ Aug 23 2013, 10:38 AM) Saw some forumers comparing Kia Rio and Fiesta to the Suprima S and comment that the Proton is overpriced because Rio/Fiesta ave 6 airbags or more as well as ESC. They seemed so focus on the specs that they forgot Suprima is a C-segment while Rio/Fiesta is B-segment, while Forte 1.6 SX which is also C-segment is not as well spec-ed and is 4-star ANCAP. Right now you need to pay around RM100k or more for a Korean C-segment with similiar specs. Haha..typical malaysian luv to compare cars like comparing between kambing vs lembu..hahaha..never put car segment into count..

QUOTE(yaz_inseven @ Aug 23 2013, 12:05 PM) Actually we can't totally blame them since proton didn't properly categorized their car segment since wira (maybe older). So we know the car by names and not via segment where that includes to import cars as the brochures or advertisement didn't advertise or state it. Not all people like in lowyat forum where they know it or car enthusiast where they will check it online, that why a lot of people is ignorant and compare it via the price. As FYI, a lot of people still said 1.6 Turbo = 1.6 NA, Not 1.6 Turbo = 2.0 NA This post has been edited by kcchong2000: Aug 23 2013, 12:47 PM

From my fathers car to mine, proton (not sure how much is really proton or mitsubishi ) are very okay cars to drive. Only thing is the quality. Why some people have simple problems like shiny panel coming off (i seen on Preve) or some car got rattles or cannot turn off engine and why some people say got no similar problem. Why cant they solve it at the factory first? What about the TUV certification program?

QUOTE(yaz_inseven @ Aug 23 2013, 05:11 PM) was there no proton bashers during his legacy?...lol CFE, Preve, Proton R&H etc. were names associated to DSZ's term as MD. Right now it seems as if DRB is working to erase his association with Proton. This post has been edited by dares: Aug 23 2013, 05:42 PM

Some people compare with Vios (B-seg), some people say A-segment with boot.

hate to admit this is the fact. proton did produce some good cars lah... though me switch to honda. i never had any problem with my first batch blm till now. handling was superb and i totally enjoyed that apart from the fuel consumption...probably the selling price does not justify the cost price which is overpriced....
